RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S)

"The Asus RT-AX88U is the best choice for a higher end router. It features next generation Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, and an impressive eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, which even supports link aggregation. Backing this up is the usual excellent AsusWRT interface, which allows granular control of every imaginable setting. "

"One of the fastest routers we've tested, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 offers lots of gamer-friendly features, copious I/O ports, and a slick management console that lets you optimize your network for lag-free gaming."

"The Asus RT-AC86U is a fast AC2900 dual band router that's equipped with the latest networking technology and is loaded with gamer optimization and network protection features."

The most important thing is the signal strength, which has not changed and that is why the ASUS RT-AX86S received the AX "Platinum" badge from us.

Bearing in mind that this device is intended for enthusiasts, as well as that an increasing number of motherboards have 2.5Gb / s ports, we have no doubt that they will be able to use the full potential of such a device. From everything we saw, the ASUS RT-AX86U received the "AXE Diamond" award.
